Susie Gillespie

From an early age Susie Gillespie have been designing and weaving textiles. Her interest in prehistoric textiles has developed her weaving style. She uses antique linen yarn, nettle imported from the traditional spinners of the Himalayas and home grown flax.

The organic nature of Gillespie work due perhaps to the surface qualities inherent in the weave and the irregularities of the yarn has been a continuous theme, which she believes is particularly suited to her subject.
